SETTING HIM UP FOR DISAPPOINTMENT


I believe I told you awhile back about the little "treasure chest" we set up out on the porch for Calvin. The one we filled with sand and hid things in -- things that we switched out on a rotating basis -- so he could dig for treasure? Well, they all got a bath this week.





While I was cleaning them, it suddenly occurred to me that, if we ever do take him to a real beach and let him dig in the sand, he's liable to be wondering what happened to all the sparkly minerals, gems, gold coins and dinosaurs!

Fortunately, I'd just added a little packet of sea shells into the rotation -- one thing he will at least have a shred of hope of finding on a real beach.
